Inside 'website', create # two directories: 'source' (which holds your Markdown files) and 'output' (which holds the # converted CSS. # # In addition to these directories, three files are needed in 'website': # 1. 'header.html' - A header, which is prepended to every source file. Unfortunately, this must # be written in regular HTML. # 2. 'footer.html' - A footer, which is appended to every source file. Also must be written in HTML. # 3. 'styles.css' - A global stylesheet. # # If you have any comments or questions, please email aadhavan@twomorecents.org. set -o errexit # Stop executing when a command fails set -o nounset # Stop executing when accessing an unset variable set -o pipefail # Treat a pipeline as failing, even if one command in the pipeline fails if [[ "${TRACE-0}" == "1" ]]; then set -o xtrace; fi # Enable tracing (output of each command) if the TRACE variable is set BASE_PATH="$(dirname "$0")" check_for_dirs() { if [[ ! -d "${BASE_PATH}/source" ]]; then echo "ERROR: 'source' folder does not exist.
